LT McDougall,
State Tuition Assistance (STA) is figured as credits taken. The only
way to "apply" for STA is to submit a request for Federal Tuition
Assistance (FTA). Once this is accomplished I will request a billing invoice
from the school, it must be a state school ie. SDSU, USD, NSU... As an undergrad
they can receive up to 132 credit hours at the reduced rate, tuition only! As
a grad they can receive up to 32 credit hours at the reduce rate. It's a 50%
reduction in tuition.
A student is eligible as soon as they swear into the National Guard.
